Bail Cycle Test
This tests the operation of the bail system, Service Station and the Y.axis by engaging and disengaging the bail.lift mechanism and capping/uncapping the cartridges.
The test will perform the number of cycles as specified in the EEROM, but if the EEROM is cleared this test will not function.
This Test has been designed to be used during the manufacturing stage and not in the field. If the Bail needs to be tested, please use the Bail Test in Service Mode 2. If a system error prevents you from entering into Service Mode 2, you may try this test instead.
Perform the Bail Cycle test as follows:
1In service mode 1, press Bail Cycle Test (Setup Key).
2The test will start and the Carriage will move out of the Service Station and activate the engaging lever which causes the Bail Assembly to be gently raised and then lowered.
3The test repeats the number of cycles as defined in the EEROM, unless you press the Cancel and Media Source keys.
4If the test passes, the Best LED (LED C) will light up after the first cycle.
5If there is a shutdown in the Y.axis, the Best LED (LED C) will start to flash.
6If the Printer does not raise the Bail Assembly then the test has failed.
If the bail fails the test, try replacing the following component:
